TNK Nonprofit Pick
I like to start these gift guides off with a charity or nonprofit that could use your support this holiday season (and all year round, TBH). A tuition-free private school for children experiencing homelessness, the Boyce L. Ansley School in Atlanta deserves that support. I first heard about this school from a friend of mine, and its mission to decrease the opportunity gap for kids experiencing homelessness struck a chord. This school provides a stable, safe space for children to learn, helping them stay on track and keep up with reading and math skills, despite their circumstances.
The nonprofit private school is free for students to attend, as the school provides uniforms, books, school supplies and more for enrolled children. The goal of the school is eventually to offer PreK through 8th grade, and your donation will help them get there.

Force of Nature Super Saver Bundle
Force of Nature makes a fantastic gift. How do I know? Well, I’ve gifted it to my mom and my sister and myself twice over. It’s really one of those life-changing products. This is a cleaning solution-making kit that you buy once—and then refills are less than $1 each. You add a premade vial of salt, water and vinegar to water and turn on the kit. Then the kit uses electrolyzed water to make a powerful disinfectant and deodorizer that kills up to 99.9% of germs including Salmonella, Norovirus, Listeria, STAPH, MRSA, Pseudomonas & Influenza A. It’s even on the EPA’s list of disinfectants for use against SARA-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. Check out their Super Saver Bundle ($109) that comes with everything you need to make 50 bottles of Force of Nature multi-purpose cleaner, deodorizer and EPA registered disinfectant, plus 9 super absorbent reusable cleaning cloths that together replace 25 rolls of paper towels.
